VIDEO: Again, Japan gets the best version of everything

For a little while there it looked as if Americans would have the last laugh with upcoming PS3 version of No More Heroes. Wrong.

I’ve mentioned No More Heroes once before already; when it was first discovered that Wii title was being ported to the 360 and PS3, but with HD remakes, NMH fanboys like myself got all excited. But when no word of an American release was discovered, we all grew sad. Then came word that PS3 version, the one Americans could actually import (since the system is region free), was gimped due to censorship issue, while the 360 version (which is region locked) still had blood flowing. But when it was later discovered that both suffered from crap loading times, everyone just went “whatever.”

So when a new version for the PS3 was announced, with improved load times, extra content, AND Move support, along with how it was headed towards the US at a nice price of just $40, we all figured us Americans had the final laugh, since we didn’t have to go through any real headaches and aren’t missing out as usual. And then came word of a piece of DLC that’s headed towards Japanese gamers, which takes the character viewer mode and sheds some of that outer skin, some more than others (NSFW btw)…

There is a slight chance that it’ll be release here in America. Like a billion to one.

What'd you think of this?
